NEW FOR 2012! Each month a different society falls under the Spotlight of Student Activities to give an overview of what they do and how you can get involved! If you’d like your society to feature in this, or more information on a society you’ve seen contact Student Activities!

Throughout the next couple of months, Student Activities will be hosting a Student Forum in each hall to find out what students want over the coming year. Do you want a Halls Council? Inter-Hall sports leagues such as an 11-a-side league? Want more Volunteering Opportunities or Halls Activities? Come along to any and have your say!

VE @ Keele has secured some funding for students to set up their own charity project within the local community. This can be anything that will benefit the local community from sports coaching to gardening projects.

Each month VE @ Keele is running ‘Make a Difference Day’. This is a one-off volunteering event that anyone can get involved with or even contribute ideas and run one!

Welcome to the Activities section of your S.U website. 2011/12 has seen a range of changes at Keele designed to give enhanced employability to graduates and improve the student experience. More detail can be found throughout this section on these changes and the different aspects of Keele you can get involved in, such as volunteering with ‘VE @ Keele’, taking part in societies, participating in sport and representing other students.

You can also check out the different ways that these activities can be recorded and how they can benefit you with the Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR), VE Awards and KUSU Awards. You can also see how to articulate the skills you gain from such activities, so look out for the How Guide ‘Articulating Your Co-curriculum Skills’.
